Scholarships awarded to 86 students from low-income families in Daegu... Recruitment until the 13th of next month

Daegu City announced on the 14th that it is recruiting applicants for scholarships for low-income residents in 2026.

Since 1993, the city has been providing scholarships every year to students with excellent academic records but experiencing financial difficulties, thanks to the assets donated by Lee Guk-jin, a Korean-American, in accordance with the wishes of his late father, Lee Seong-hwan.

Until last year, a total of 12,060 people were supported with 10.41 billion won.

Recruitment will be held until the 13th of next month, and a total of 86 people will be selected (30 middle and high school students, 56 college students).

Middle and high school students are categorized into those who excel in the arts, physical education, and technical fields, and college students are categorized into those who have excellent grades, social consideration groups, or those who excel in volunteer activities.

For middle and high school students, the Daegu City Superintendent of Education recommends students who have won awards at national competitions, and for college students, if they apply to the administrative welfare center at their address with the required documents, the district mayor or county head will recommend them.

Students selected after deliberation will be awarded scholarship certificates and scholarships in December. The scholarship is worth 500,000 won for middle and high school students and up to 2 million won for college students.
